KKK Distributes Flyers in Kentucky Telling Immigrants to ‘Leave Now’

THE GUARDIAN: Documents, including phone number and invitation to ‘join us’, distributed same day Trump took office

Kentucky police are investigating after a series of racist Ku Klux Klan flyers telling immigrants to “leave now” were distributed across the state on inauguration day.

The KKK is one of the most infamous white supremacist hate groups in the US.

The flyers show a cartoon of Uncle Sam kicking at a family of five, including a baby and two young children. Uncle Sam is holding a document which says “Proclamation” and states: “We need your help. Monitor and track all immigrants. Report them all.”

The documents, which include a Kentucky-area phone number and an invitation to “join us”, were distributed on the day Donald Trump took office. The president has repeatedly demonized immigrants and has vowed to launch “the largest deportation program in American history”. » | Adam Gabbatt | Wednesday, January 22, 2025

Ku Klux Klan - A Story of Racism, Violence and Hatred | DW Documentary

Jun 15, 2024 | Three letters that are synonymous with racism, violence and hatred: KKK. This is the abbreviation for the Ku Klux Klan. The terrorist organization has been active in the USA for over 150 years, especially in the rural areas of the South.

Once founded as a racist secret society to oppress the black population of the USA, the movement has split into many splinter groups over the course of its history. At times, these were almost inactive. But since 2016, when President Donald Trump was elected, the Ku Klux Klan has seen a resurgence.

The film reconstructs the history of the movement and talks to former judges and FBI agents who tried to fight the organization. A KKK dropout also weighs in. This film charts the development of the most notorious racist criminal organization in the United States.

Der hässliche Protest gegen Flüchtlinge in Finnland

Proteste in Finnland gegen Flüchtlinge: Man
mit Ku-Klux-Klan-Mütze.

TAGES ANZEIGER: Ein Finne macht auf Ku Klux Klan. Bei Protesten gegen Flüchtlinge trat ein Mann mit weissem Spitzhut auf. Die Regierung verurteilt die Demonstration.

Die finnische Regierung hat sich entschieden von fremdenfeindlichen Protesten gegen Flüchtlinge distanziert. Sie verurteile «rassistische Proteste gegen Asylsuchende», teilte die Drei-Parteien-Koalition in einer gemeinsamen Erklärung mit. Finnland sei ein «offenes und tolerantes Land» in dem die Bevölkerung eine positive Einstellung zu Einwanderern habe. » | ofi/sda | Freitag, 25. September 2015

THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH: Documentary shows Klan leader promoting “lethal force” by whites in Ferguson, Missouri scene of days of rioting after unarmed black teenager was shot by police last year

The Ku Klux Klan is flourishing and exploiting racial tension in America, according to a new behind the scenes documentary.

With race relations still on a knife edge in some parts of the country following the deaths of African Americans at police hands, the white supremacist group is unashamedly promoting more hatred. » | David Millward, US Correspondent | Sunday, July 12, 2015

Ku Klux Klan on New Recruitment Drive with Leaflet Drop in Towns across America

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Residents wake up to find fliers declaring “The KKK wants you” as hatred of Obama and immigration fuels rise in white supremacy

The Ku Klux Klan is on a recruitment drive across America with a new leafleting campaign, as membership numbers grow due to opposition to Barack Obama and increased immigration.

Residents of towns in Texas, Louisiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania emerged from their houses over the weekend to find fliers attached to their doors, car windscreens or on the front lawn declaring “The KKK wants you.”

The leaflets depict the outline of a hooded figure in white robes with Klan insignia pointing at the reader in the style of traditional military recruiting posters, complete with phone numbers and websites.

The Klan and its latest campaign are legal under the US’s strong constitutional right to free speech. The white supremacy group, which aims to oust Mr Obama and stem immigration, is also against interracial marriage and homosexuality. In their contemporary guise, Klan leaders promote non-violent defence of whites “in the race war against us”, according to one website. » | Joanna Walters, New York | Monday, March 31, 2014

US Shock-jock, Jewish Extremist and Hamas MP on List of 16 Banned from UK

TIMESONLINE: A former member of the Ku Klux Klan, a neo-Nazi, a Hamas MP and a Jewish extremist are among 16 people named today as being banned from entering the UK.

Also on the list published by the Home Office is a US “shock jock” talkshow host whose views on Islam, rape and autism have stirred controversy in America.

The 16 are among 22 people excluded in the five months to March. The Home Office has not identified the other six on security grounds.

Today's move follows changes to the law in 2005 which widened the criteria for imposing a ban to include people who promote hatred, terrorist violence or serious criminal activity.

The list includes Erich Gliebe, the leader of an American neo-Nazi group, Michael Savage (real name Michael Weiner), a radio presenter in America, Mike Guzovsky, a Jewish extremist, and Stephen “Don” Black, a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan.

Also on the list is Fred Waldron Phelps Snr, an American Baptist pastor and his daughter, Shirley, who were barred last year for their homophobic views.

The two have picketed the funerals of Aids victims and celebrated the deaths of US soldiers as punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality.

Also on the list of those banned between October and March is the Hamas MP Yunis al-Astal.

Artur Ryno and Pavel Skachevsky, the former leaders of a violent Russian skinhead gang which committed 20 racially motivated murders, are also banned. They are currently in jail. >>> Richard Ford, Home Correspondent | Tuesday, May 5, 2009
